[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the black women posting about their sons not marrying white women:  your racism and shoulder chips are the only reason I'd be concerned for my daughter to marry a black man. Do you not see you are the very root of the problem?![/quote]

No racism and no "shoulder chips". Why is the "chip on the shoulder" thing the default when race is discussed in a way that makes you uncomfortable? [/quote]

I'm not uncomfortable. I'm angry. Hypocrisy of all stripes makes me angry.

And yes, saying that no white woman can be a suitable partner to your black son, and that no white in-laws can be truly accepting and respectful, is absolutely racism. Defining all members of a race by the negative characteristics of [i]some[/i] of that race is the very definition of racism. [/quote]

You need to educate yourself on racism. And I'm not sure why you are angry (nor, honestly, do I care).

I'm not saying that a white woman could not make a suitable partner for my son; I'm saying I don't want one to do so. It's very possible that white ILs can be absolutely accepting of the relationship, but I'd rather not take a chance and see how it all shakes out. Pandering to ILs for acceptance does not sit well with me and my son is too good to have to prove himself to anyone in that way.

You do not come from a place where you can understand the complexities of being black in America, so I doubt we will have a meeting of the minds on this issue. [/quote]
